I found this video in my archives and I just had to share it with you and the story behind it!
In 2018 I was sitting on my yoga mat in the park doing a "Post Natal Yoga" class. After the class had finished I looked at my phone as saw I had numerous missed calls from Patrick Pickett, the conductor of the Queensland Pops Orchestra.
I called him back and he told me that the beautiful Lucy Durack had fallen ill for her concert that day with them. He said "Can you be here in an hour for the soundcheck? And instead of watching the show tonight, would you instead be able to SING the two shows today?"
So I grabbed a few dresses and went to QPAC to perform two shows! Lucy is an incredible Musical Theatre performer, and although I knew some of the songs she was singing, I didn't know all of them. I was lucky to have performed some of my own songs with the QLD Pops over the years! So we dug out scores from the archives, I relearnt some songs I hadn't sung in a while in the car on the way in. One of them being "For Good" from the musical Wicked.
I was paired up with a beautiful young woman called Emma Kavanagh. We rehearsed the duet once and it was show time!!!
This video was recorded at the performance. All the emotion and high energy that we were serving that day captured on film.
Emma is such a fantastic upcoming singer and I was really impressed with her professionalism, so I took her with me on tour that year around Australia as my backing vocalist!
Emma has performed with me all across Australia now and I am so proud to mentor her. Watch this space folks!
